Inspired by a similar question on reddit:

What games do you replay regularly/annually? (No shame if you skipped a year or two.) I am especially interested in 'comfort' games.

Only rule is, you should have played the game for the first time at least 5 years back.

My list:

Street Fighter 2 in all variations/on all platforms I have access two. I guess I have been playing it regularly for more than 25 years by now. No Street Fighter after the Alpha/3rd Strike ever captured me like this.
Contra / NES This one I play regularly for more than 30 years (at least), to this day my favorite action game and the ultimate benchmark (I played all NES/SNES/Genesis Contras and Operation Galuga, nothing comes close.)
Slay the Spire: Hits 5 years of being released, I played since the early access and wasted too much time on this, still fun and perfect on smartphones
Doom I/II: I cannot tell you what it is, there are obviously better FPS than Doom I/II, but sometimes, if I just want to blow some steam, Doom is the only thing that delivers. (I think I never played trough all episodes of either Doom I or Doom II

Mirror's Edge - I usually turn the voices off and just run. Once you're in the flow it's so calming, and it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Thanks, looks exactly like my kind of game!

Just a heads up if you do try it, I mean the original not Catalyst. The sequel constantly kills that flow state with all the annoying intrusions you'll see from other AAA open world games. It's not the worst game ever, I did finish it, but it was the last time I bought something on release.

The original is just a short collection of levels. It's extremely minimalist. The only diversions from the flow is a simple story linking them and a handful of hidden collectibles.

I didn't enjoy catalyst that much. I loved the levels of the first and catalyst took the levels out for an open world which I wasn't that interested in though I liked a couple missions in catalyst when they brought into an interior.
